Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The corpses of Ernest Harrison, Sam Reed and Frank Howard hanging from a rafter in McAuley's sawmill, Wickliffe, Kentucky, September 11, 1911. [1] (Cf. the book Without Sanctuary, James Allen, ed., 2000) A text of the Record Herald, Sept. 12, 1911: [...] "Ernest Harrison, Sam Reed and Frank Howard, confessed to the murder of Washington Thomas, an aged, respectable colored man. Thomas was employed in a tobacco factory, and Saturday night the three men waylaid him along the railroad track, killed him and robbed his clothes of his salary. They were speedily captured and placed in jail. During the night the colored people of Wickliffe held secret meetings and decided to lynch the murderers. Everything was quietly done. The bodies of the lynched men were left hanging until noon today, and there will be no effort by the authorities to apprehend the executioners." |
